PREFACE. 


The  present  volume  contains  abstracts  of  the  Marriage 
Registers  of  Alderley,  Bosley,  Capesthorne,  Chelford,  Marton, 
Poynton-cum- Worth,  Siddington  and  Pott  Shrigley.  It  also 
brings  the  Marriages  at  Taxal,  down  to  1837,  as  when 
those  Registers  were  dealt  with  previously  (in  Vol  I.)  they 
stopped  at  181 2.  All  the  above  places  were  anciently 
Chapelries  of  the  enormous  parish  of  Prestbury  and  have 
at  one  time  or  another  been  separated  from  it,  Prestbury 
parish  now  retaining  only  the  Chapelries  or  townships  of 
Kettleshulme,  Saltersford,  Lyme  and  Adlington.  There  are 
are  no  old  Registers  belonging  to  Adlington.  Saltersford 
Registers  are  kept  at  Prestbury  and  contain  no  Marriages. 
With  the  Registers  given  in  this  volume  Macclesfield  now 
remains  the  only  other  Chapelry  of  this  enormous  parish 
which  has  any  Marriage  Registers  not  printed.  These  we 
hope  to  deal  with  in  the  next  volume,  after  which  we  hope 
to  continue  the  Prestbury  Marriages  from  the  date  (17S9) 
at  which  they  were  discontinued  in  Vol.  IV.  Marriages 
occurring  before  and  after  the  ratnge-dates  of  the  various 
Chapelry  Registers  must  be  sought  for  in  the  Registers  of 
Prestbury,  the  "  Mother  Church." 

The  abstracts  here  printed  are  entirely  the  work  of  Mr. 
Leopold  Choice. 

The  thanks  of  the  Subscribers  are  due  to  the  Incumbents 
for  permission  to  make  and  print  the  abstracts.  Their  names 
are  mentioned  under  their  respective  parishes. 

The  chief  contractions  used  are :  w.=widow  or  widower  ; 
p.=parish  of;  /zV.=married  by  licence. 


It  should  be  remembered  that  previous  to  2-752  the  year 
was  calculated  as  beginning  on  the  25th  of  March,  instead 
of  the  1st  of  January,  so  that  a  marriage  tdking  place  on 
say  20th  February,  1625,  would  be  on  that  <3ate  in  1626, 
according  to  our  reckoning  ;  but  as  the  civil  a.nd  ecclesias- 
tical year  were  both  used,  this  is  sometimes  expressed  by 
20th  Feb.,  162*. 

In  all  cases  where  the  marriage  is  stated  tto  have  taken 
place  by  Licence,  that  fact  is  recorded,  as  the  searcher 
thereby  knows  that  further  information  as  to  the  age, 
parentage  and  vocation  of  the  parties  is  pralnably  recover- 
able from  the  Allegations  in  the  Archdearxaoiry  or  other 
office  from  which  the  Licence  issued. 

After  1753  it  is  to  be  assumed  that  all  pastnes  not  other- 
wise described  are  stated  to  be  of  the  horse  parish,  and 
bachelor  and  spinster  respectively. 

It  might  be  well  to  remind  the  reader  thit  these  printed 
abstracts  of  the  Registers  are  not  legal  "residence."  For 
certificates  application  must  be  made  to  the  local  clergy.

Marriages  at  Alderley, 

1629  to  1837. 

Xote. — The  Parish  of  Alderley  comprises  the  Townships  of  Over 
Alderley,  Nether  Alderley  and  Great  Warford.  In  early  times  it 
formed  a  part  of  the  vast  parish  of  Prestbury,  to  which  it  was 
styled  a  "  Parochial  Chapelry  "  [and  therefore  probably  a  part  and 
parcel  of  the  Abbey  of  St.  Werburgh  in  Chester],  but  no  record 
of  its  dismemberment  from  the  Mother  Church  exists — "  Notuia 
Cestriensis." 

The  Church,  which  is  situated  in  Nether  Alderley,  is  dedicated 
to  St.  Mary,  but  it  would  appear  from  the  "  Institution  Book  "  that 
it  was  formerly  called  St.  Laurence,  so  styled  in  1536  when  Pech3m 
held  the  right  of  presentation  to  the  living. 

Amongst  the  many  noted  rectors  of  Alderley  may  be  mentioned 
Edward  Stanley,  whose  baptism  is  recorded  in  the  registers,  21  Feb.. 
1779.  He  was  presented  by  his  father,  Sir  John  Stanley,  Bart.,  to 
the  living  in  1805,  which  he  held  and  resided  at  Alderley  until  his 
appointment  to  the  Bishopric  of  Norwich  in  1S37.  He  was  a  ready- 
writer  and  his  work  on  British  birds  is  an  authority.  His  second 
son,  Arthur  Penrhyn,  will  be  remembered  as  the  much-loved  Dean 
Stanley,  of  Westminster. 

The  Marriage  registers  for  the  period  under  review  number 
four.  Volume  I.  contains  133I  parchment  leaves,  measuring  16  by  7 
inches,  bound  in  leather-covered  boards.  It  records  the  Baptisms, 
Marriages  and  Burials  from  1629  to  1760,  and  "  Banns  of  Marriage  " 
from  1754  to  1761.  The  volume  requires  rebinding,  otherwise  it  is 
in  good  condition.  From  the  commencement  to  the  year  1732  the 
entries  have  been  well  recorded  in  Latin  and  only  in  a  few  peaces 
is  the  ink  at  all  faded.  It  will  be  noticed  that  during  the  Common- 
wealth a  fair  number  of  Civil  Marriages  is  given,  but  there  does 
not  appear  to  be  any  note  of  the  appointment  of  a  "  Register." 

Volume  II.  is  the  usual  printed  form  as  directed  under  Lord 
Hardwicke's  Marriage  Act  of  1754.  This  register  records  the 
Marriages  from   1754  to  1806. 

Volume  III.  is  the  usual  printed  form,  as  in  volume  II.,  and 
records  the  Marriages  from  1807  to  1S12.

Volume  IV.  is  the  usual  printed  form,  as  required  by  the  Rose 
Act,  52  Geo.  III.,  c.  146,  and  records  the  Marriages  from    1813   to

Cheshire — V. 


Marriages  at  Bosley, 

1729  to  1750. 

Note. — This  ancient  chapelry,  situated  on  the  border  of 
Cheshire  and  Staffordshire,  was,  until  about  the  middle  of  the  last 
century,  a  part  of  the  extensive  parish  of  Prestbury. 

The  registers  do  not  commence,  however,  until  the  year  172S, 
with  the  institution  of  the  Rev.  John  [or  Jonathan]  Thornley  to  the 
curacy.  He  signs  each  page  of  the  register  to  the  year  1764— the 
year  previous  to  his  death.  It  is  stated  that  until  a  vicarage  could  be 
built  for  him  Thornley  lived  in  the  Church  tower. 

The  first  register  records  the  Baptisms  and  Burials  from  1728  to 
1788,  and  Marriages  from  1729  to  1750.  The  volume  consists  of  7S 
paper  leaves,  measuring  12J  by  8  inches,  enclosed  in  eather 
covered  boards,  and  it  requires  rebinding.  Apart  from  the  usual 
entries  this  volume  contains  much  miscellaneous  information. 

Volume  II.  comprises  29  parchmerjt  leaves.  13  of  which  are  blank, 
enclosed  in  calf-covered  boards.  This  register  records  the  Baptisms 
and  Burials  from  1788  to  1812,  and  is  headed:— '-The  Register  of  the 
Christenings  and  Burials  at  Bosley  in  the  parish  of  Prestbury  and 
County  and  Diocese  of  Chester,  commencing  January  the  thirteenth 
one  thousand,  seven  hundred  and  eighty-eight." 

Records  of  Marriages  of  Bosley  persons  other  than  those  given  in 
the  following  pages  must  be  looked  for  in  the  registers  of  Prestbury. 

These  records  have  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice, 
and  are  now  printed  by  ;Ieave  of  the  Rev.  G.  E.  O'Brien,  M.A., 
vicar  of  Bosley.

of   Prestbury,  and  no   objection    made     23  Dec.     „ 

•Francis  Day  may  probably  have  been  the  parish  clerk,  as  I  find   no

Marriages  at  Capesthorne, 

1722  to  1747. 

Note. — Bishop  Gastrell,  in  his  "Notitia  Ce-triensis,"  collected 
during  his  Visitation  of  the  Diocese,  "  circa  "  1720,  write;  of  Capes- 
thorne : — "This  is  a  new  Chappell,  lately  built  by  John  Ward,  Esq., 
who  has  gi%'en  all  the  Tyths  of  this  Township  towards  its  Augment- 
ation." 

The  Chapel  was  and  still  is  attached  to  Capesthorne  Hall,  and 
was  made  extra-parochial  to  the  parish  church  of  Prestbury.  In  1855 
Capesthorne  was  united  to  Siddington  to  form  one  ecclesiastical 
parish. 

The  earliest  register  is  a  volume  measuring  12.$  by  6£  inches, 
containing  5S  parchment  leaves,  35  of  which  are  unused,  and  3  paper 
leaves,  enclosed  in  calf-boards.  It  records  the  Baptisms  from  1722  to 
1812  ;  Marriages  from  1722  to  1747  and  Burials  from  1722  to  1S12. 
The  entries  in  this  and  the  next  register  refer  for  the  most  part  to 
members  of  the  ancient  family  of  Davenport,  by  whom  C?.pe;thorne 
was  formerly  used  as  a  private  chapel  belonging  to  the  family. 

Records  of  Marriages  of  Capesthorne  persons,  other  than  those 
recorded  in  the  following  pages,  must  be  looked  for  in  the  registers 
of  the  Mother  Church  of  Prestbury. 

This  register  has  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  with 
the  permission  of  the  Rev.  Canon  Elstob,  M.A..  vicar  of  Siddington 
with  Capesthorne.

Marriages  at  Chelford, 

1674  to  1752. 

Note. — In  the  "Notitia  Cestriensis"  the  chapelry  of  Chelford  is 
styled  "  Chelfoi -d -cum- Withington  ", "  distance  5  miles  from  the  parish 
church  [Prestbury].  Was  made  parochial  in  1674,  and  the  registers 
begin  in  1679."  "  Earwaker  "  states  that  a  chapel  existed  here  as 
early  as  the  13th  century,  and  the  present  building  was  consecrated 
July  23,  1776,  by  the  name  of  '  The  Chapel  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist 
in  Chelford.' 

According  to  the  registers,  Chelford  comprised  the  townships  of 
Chelford,  Astleand  Old  Withington,  and  was  dismembered  from  the 
Mother  Church  during  the  last  century.  The  Church  was  licensed 
for  Marriages  25  October,  1S58. 

The  registers  to  the  year  1812  comprise  two  volumes.  In  Vol. 
II.  is  recorded  the  following  information: — "Copy  of  the  list  &c, 
transmitted  to  the  Clerk  of  the  House  of  Commons,  March,  1832. 

A  list  of  the  Register  books  in  the  Chapelry  of  Chelford,  in  the 
parish  of  Prestbury,  and  county  of  Chester. 

First  Book  : — Baptisms  commence  26  March,  1679,  terminate 
I  December,  1786.  Marriages  commence  19  June,  1674,  terminate 
18  August,  1752.  Burials  commence  19  June,  1674,  terminate  1 
December,  17S6. 

Second  Book  : — Baptisms  and  Burials  commence  in  1787  and 
terminate  in  1S12.  Both  books  are  bound — the  first  in  parchment, 
and  the  second  in  leather." 

These  records  have  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  and 
are  now  printed  by  leave  of  the  late  Rev.  C.  E.  B.  Bell,  M.A.,  vicar  of 
Chelford.  On  the  first  page  in  volume  I.  is  the  following  memoranda  : 
"Before  the  disposition  to  bury  at  Chelford  Chappell  was  obtained, 
there  was  noo  Regester  booke  there  of  either  Baptisms  or  Buryals. 
And  in  severall  yearcs  before  there  was  not  in  the  Neighbourhood  any 
Generall  care  taken  by  parents  to  have  their  children  Regestered. 
But  now  some  parents  in  the  Chappellry,  observing  their  fault 
therein,  have  decided  since  the  making  of  this  Regester  Booke  that 
such  of  their  children  |as  they  themselves  know  are  not  in  any 
publeque  Regester,  might  be  inserted  in  this:  Which,  though  it  be 

not  Legall,  nor  [ ]  can  be  any  assured  widnesse  when   they 

were  baptised  nor  can  possibly  be  placed  in  any  good  order  as  they 
aught  :  Yet  nevertheless  for  pleasinge  of  some  parrents  soo  farr  (who 
have  keept  the  times  of  their  childrens'  Baptism  in  their  own  note

[Marriages  of  Chelford  persons  before  1674,  and  between  1752  and 
1858  must  be  looked  for  in  the  parish  registers  at  Prestbury.     L.  C] 


Marriages  at  Marlon, 

1563  to  1769. 

Note. — "  Earwaker  "  states  that  Marton  Chapel  was  founded  about  the 
middle  of  14th  century  by  Sir  John  de  Davenport,  Kt.,  and  is  built  of 
timber  and  plaster.  It  so  remains  to  this  day,  and  the  recumbent 
figure  of  a  knight  in  stone,  supposed  to  represent  the  founder,  still 
rests  in  the  belfry. 

In  1707  it  is  called  a  "  parochial  Chapel,"  and  until  the  last  century 
was  a  chapelry  attached  to  and  part  of  the  vast  parish  of  Prestbury, 
from  which  church  it  is  situate  about  6  miles  distant. 

The  Episcopal  Registers  at  Chester  return  the  Marton  registers 
as  commencing  in  1584.  This  is  evidently  an  error,  probably  copied 
from  Gastrell's  "Notitia  Cestriensis,"  which  gives  the  same  date. 

The  registers  under  review  consist  of  two  volumes.  Volume  I. 
contains  69  parchment  leaves,  measuring  13  by  7  inches,  to  which  is 
attached  one  parchment  cover.  It  is  in  a  bad  condition  and  many  of 
the  entries  are  quite  lost,  owing  to  damp  and  course  of  time.  One 
bright  spot  in  the  register  is  during  the  incumbency  of  the  Rev. 
Josiah  Lightfoot,  who  was  ejected  as  a  Royalist  in  1644.  The  entries 
during  his  time  are  very  neatly  made  and  are  quite  legible,  and  he 
signs  his  name  at  the  foot  of  each  page.  The  volume  contains  the 
Baptisms,  Marriages  and  Burials  from  1563  to  1725.  Volume  II. 
consists  of  47  parchment  leaves,  measuring  16  by  9  inches,  enclosed 
in  leather-covered  boards.  It  contains  the  Baptisms  and  Burials  from 
1726  to  1S12,  and  Marriages  from  1726  to  1769.  Owing  to  the 
passing  of  Lord  Hardwicke's  Marriage  Act  in  1754  this  last  marriage 
in  1769  was  illegal,  as  Marton  Chapel  was  not  licenced  for  the 
celebration  of  Marriages  until  16th  November,  iSSq. 

These  records  have  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  and 
are  now  printed  by  leave  of  the  Rev.  H.  G.  Babington,  M.A.,  vicar  of 
Marton.

Marriages  at  Poynton-cum-Worth, 

1723  to  1753. 

Note. — From  the  reign  of  Edward  II.  Poynton  has  been  favoured 
with  a  Chapelry,  which,  in  those  early  times  was  connected  with  the 
Abbot  of  St.  Werburg  in  Chester.  In  the  year  1312  the  then  Lord 
of  Poynton  brought  an  action  against  the  Abbot  to  procure  the 
advowson  of  the  Chapel,  in  which  case  he  lost,  but  the  Abbot  bound 
himself  and  his  heirs  lo  find  a  chaplain  at  Poynton  for  ever.  Owing 
to  subsequent  neglect  to  do  this  the  tythes  were  sequestrated,  and  the 
Chapelry  became  attached  to  the  parish  church  of  Prestbury,  some 
five  miles  distant,  in  which  parish  it  remained  until  Its  partition  in 
1871. 

Notwithstanding  its  antiquity,  there  appear  to  be  no  registers 
extant  befor  the  year  1723.  From  that  time  until  1795  the  Christenings 
were  well  recorded,  and  the  Marriages  to  1753,  in  a  book  containing 
65  parchment  sheets,  with  six  blank  leaves  at  the  beginning  and  the 
end  of  the  volume,  which  measures  14  by  8  inches,  and  is  bound  in 
brown  leather  covers.  The  entries  have  been  excellently  made,  but 
the  register  requires  rebinding. 

The  next  register  contains  the  Christenings  from  1S13  to  1S26. 

The  Burial  register  begins  in  1841,  and  that  for  Marriages  in 
1859. 

Other  earlier  records  must  be  looked  for  in  the  registers  of  the 
parish  church  of  Prestbury. 

Included  in  the  Marriages  under  review  will  be  found  the  records 
of  many  Marriages  solemnized  at  the  old  Xorbury  Chanel,  as  it  was 
called,  which  was  about  one  mile  distant  from  Poynton.  and  four 
miles  from  the  church  of  Stockport,  to  which  it  was  attached;  it  has 
long  since  been  demolished.  For  further  details  concerning  Xorbury, 
see  under  that  heading. 

These  records  have  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  of 
Disley  in  Cheshire,  with  the  permission  of  the  Rev.  H.  X.  Ross,  B.D., 
vicar  of  Poynton.

Marriages  at  Siddington, 

1722  to  1783. 

Note. — The  Church  at  Siddington,  formerly  a  chapclry  to  the  Mother 
Church  of  Presthury,  was  united  with  Capcsthorne  to  form  an 
ecclesiastical  parish  in  1S55. 

In  connection  with  the  above  the  following  interesting  entry 
will  be  found  in  Volume  V  of  the  Prestbury  Registers  : — 

"November  the  2nd,  1748.  Memorandum— The  Right  of 
Presentation  to  Syddington  Chapell  was  granted  to  John  Ward, 
of  Capesthorne,  esqr.,  and  his  heirs  by  Charles  Legh,  of  Adlington, 
esqr:  and  Joseph  Ward,  Vicar  of  Prestbury,  with  the  consent  of 
Samuell  Lord  Bishopp  of  Chester,  and  the  Governors  of  Queen 
Ann's  Bounty,  upon  this  express  condition  that  the  said  John  Ward 
should  contribute  two  hundred  pounds  for  the  further  augmentation 
of  the  salary  paid  to  the  said  chapell,  and  that  neither  he  nor  his 
successors  should  ever  present  the  said  person  to  both  the  chapells 
of  Syddington  and  Capesthorne  at  the  same  time. 

Witness  my  Hand,  John  Ward,  Vicar  of  Prestbury." 

The  registers  date  from  1720,  although  at  one  time  they  went 
back,  so  it  is  stated,  to  an  earlier  period.  Towards  the  end  of  l8tb 
century  Siddington  Chapel  was  broken  into  and  the  Communion 
plate,  consisting  of  silver  vessels,  and  other  articles  were  stolon  and 
carried  away.  The  Church  chest  containing  the  above  was  found 
in  a  field  close  by.     The  early  registers,  so  it  is  said,  were  burned. 

In  the  registers  of  Marton  are  several  marriage  entries  of 
persons  who  were  married  at  Siddington  Chapel.  These  entries 
refer  to  a  period  prior  to  that  of  the  Siddington  registers  as  they 
now  exist. 

Bishop  Gastrell,  writing  of  Siddington,  records  the  registers 
as  beginning  in  1721  ;  and  later — "Anno  1721,  Licence  granted  to 
Bury  in  ye  Chappell  Vard  but  not  [in]  ye  Chappell,  and  to  Baptize 
children  :  the  curate  to  keep  a  Regester  and  transmit  ye  names 
of  persons  baptized  and  buried  to  Mother  Church.'* 

The  first  register  now  existing  comprises  76  paper  leaves 
(14  of  which  are  blank),  measuring  19  by  7$  inches,  and  bound  in 
leather-covered  boards  with  brass  clasps.  This  volume  records  the 
Baptisms  from  1720  to  1812  ;  Burials  from  1724  to  18 12  and 
Marriages  from  1722  to  1783.  The  marriage  at  the  last-mentioned 
date  was  not  performed  at  Siddington  but  at  Prestbury.     Marriages 


102  Cheshire  Parish  Registers.  [1722 

ceased  to  be  celebrated  here  on  the  passing  of  Lord  H^rdwicke's 
Marriage  Act  and  the  church  was  not  licenced  for  this  purpose  tmtil 
the  year  1883.  Records  of  Marriages  other  than  those  given  in  the 
following  pages  must  therefore  be  looked  for  at  Prestbury  and 
Mart  on. 

These  particulars  have  been  contributed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice, 
and  are  now  printed  by  leave  of  the  Rev.  Canon  ElsJlob,  M.A., 
vicar  of  Siddington  with  Capesthorne.

Marriages  at  Pott  Shrigley, 

1685  to  1751. 

Note. — Pott  Shrigley  takes  its  name  from  a  combination  of  two 
small  estates,  i.e.,  Pott  and  Shrigley,  which,  in  early  times,  were 
owned  by  families  bearing  these  names.  Bishop  Gastrell,  in  his 
"  Notitia,"  states  that  "  Pott  Chapel  is  situated  within  the  Chapelry  of 
Macclesfield,"  and  until  the  last  centuiy  Pott  formed  a  part  of  the 
vast  parish  of  Prestbury,  to  which,  of  course,  Macclesfield  was 
also  attached.  The  inhabitants  in  the  wild  district  above  Pott, 
generally  known  as  the  "  Highlands  of  Cheshire,"  used  the  Mother 
Church  for  Weddings  and  Burials  in  preference  to  the  Local  Chapel- 
ries,  and  many  of  them  do  so  to  this  day. 

The  Church,  dedicated  to  St.  Christopher,  was  founded  circa 
1490,  by  Geoffrey  Downes,  who,  by  his  will,  left  instructions  that 
the  priests  appointed  should  keep  "  noe  Horse,  ne  Hawke.  ne  Hound, 
ne  nothing  that  should  destroy  or  hinder  him  from  the  service  of 
God,  and  if  he  will  not  tend  his  booke,  ne  writing,  ne  teaching  of 
children,  ne  his  beades,  ne  other  virtuus  occupations,  I  will  that  hee 
be  not  there." 

The  earliest  register  is  a  thick  volume  containing  75  parchment 
leaves  that  measure  15J  by  7|  inches.  The  volume  was  bound  or 
re-bound  in  vellum,  with  brass  clasps  and  corners,  at  the  expense  of 
the  Overseers  in  1S97.  Births  and  Christenings  are  recorded  from 
1619  to  1812,  Marriages,  1685  to  1751,  and  Burials,  16S5  to  1S12.  The 
entries  down  to  the  year  1733  have  evidently  been  transcribed  from 
another  book  or  books  and  are  most  legible.  It  is  a  matter  for  note 
that  as  against  the  small  number  of  Marriages  and  Burials  (about 
200)  there  are  something  like  5,000  Christenings.  A  very  small  per- 
centage of  these  relate  to  Pott  Shrigley  inhabitants,  but  refer  to 
persons  from  such  places  as  Adlington,  Bollington,  Kettleshulme, 
Lyme,  Poynton,  Rainow,  Woodford,  Worth  and  other  villages,  that 
might  be  searched  for  in  vain  in  the  records  of  the  Mother  Church 
of  Prestbury. 

This  transcript  has  been  made  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  and  is 
now  printed  by  leave  of  the  Rev.  C.  W.  Aslachsen,  vicar  of  Pott 
Shrigley.

APPENDIX. 


Marriages  at  Taxal, 

1813  to  1837. 

Note. — The  earlier  Marriage  Registers  of  Taxal,  1611  to  1S12.  were 
printed  in  the  first  volume  of  the  Cheshire  Series  in  1909,  but  since 
then  it  has  been  decided  to  bring  the  abstracts  down  to  the  com- 
mencement of  Civil  Registration  in  July,  1837,  whenever  that  is 
feasible.  We  therefore  append  a  continuation  of  Taxal  down  to  that 
date. 

The  Marriages  hereunder  printed  are  contained  in  two  ordinary 
volumes  of  printed  forms. 

Where  not  otherwise  stated,  the  parties  may  be  considered  to 
have  been  of  the  parish  of  Taxal. 

These  records  have  been  transcribed  by  Mr.  Leopold  Choice,  and 
are  printed  by  leave  of  theiRev.  S.  Evans,  M.A.,  rector  of  Taxal.
